Werewolf Castle

Werewolf Castle (2021) is a United Kingdom 🇬🇧 picture that I watched on Amazon Prime last month. The storyline follows a young man whose entire village is killed by werewolves. He joins a group of mercenaries out to kill the menace plaguing the countryside.

This movie is written and directed by Charlie Steeds (A Werewolf in England) and stars Peter Lofsgard (Vampire Virus), Tim Cartwright (A Werewolf in England), Jake Watkins (Freeze), Derek Nelson (Midnight Peepshow) and Megan Tremethick (Dragon Knight).

If they did a better job with the werewolf costumes and depiction this would be an underrated gem. The settings, attire, circumstances and cinematography are excellent. It reminded me of 13th Warrior in some ways. The kill scenes are very good and contain solid gore. Some sequences are shot a bit too dark, but the overall premise and execution is very good and any flesh consumption scenes are entertaining. The entire cabin scene that sets up the ending was entertaining and a lot of fun. There's a final fight that could have been better but what happens to the main character at the end made me smile.

Overall, this ends up being a very average movie because of the werewolf special effects but there are elements worth your time. I would score this a 5/10 and recommend seeing it once.

One of those movies that are so bad you have to watch all of it to see if it gets any better.. It did not. Some of the actors and production was okay but the rest, not so much. The werewolf costumes are just awful. I could buy a better one at a discount Halloween store. When bitten by a wolf one would usually have bite marks, just saying. There is a twist at the end but you realize once it happens that the title of the movie gives it away.. I like some B movies but this one I would not recommend.

I just don't get it, some moments of half decent production without the storyline...

I'm a Werewolf movie fan, i've watched that many B werewolf movies i've lost count, hoping to find that hidden Gem. I went into this with an open mind, not checking the imdb score as I usually do beforehand. It started off not bad, I was thinking there's some effort been put into the production here at least, but literally after 10mins that hope was quashed with the usual overacting with novice actors and the illogical storyline.

4 stars, simply for the effort put into production and there was moments that were half decent, at least I made it to the end...

I had never heard of this movie before which probably was a good indication that the movie was not that great. After the first 10 minutes, I debated whether to watch it but decided to watch the whole thing to see if it would get better. The movie is not worth watching:

The plot was very predictable. I guessed what was going to happen before it happened like what was going to happen at the village in the woods, when he reached the castle and the ending. I did not think the story line or acting was that great. A waste of time. Find a better movie to watch. I watched it on Amazon Prime which was included free on my account. Don't waste your money renting or streaming it.

As many of these reviews make it out to be. There are some weak points- the werewolf costumes look cheap, and the gore effects have some highs and some really lows. That said, the story isn't bad, has some twists, and a tragically-heroic ending. I've watched a bunch of werewolf movies, and this is far from the worst. We watch the protagonist turn from coward to a hero, a warrior go from self-centered to caring, a knight look all-too human, and the twist with the king, I didn't see coming, despite the title of the movie. There are far worse movies on Prime, Tubi, and the like right now. This isn't bad for what it is- a low-budget werewolf movie.
